Big Flip Sends Dorfman Packing

We just saw a huge stack in front of British player Ashley Mason and asked him what happened to Randy Dorfman. Dorfman was one of the biggest stacks in the room but Mason just took it all away. Mason raised to 450 after which Dorfman three-bet to 1,225. The action came back to Mason who made it 5,000 and Dorfman decided to shove. Mason called creating a huge coin flip.

Randy Dorfman{A-Spades}{K-}
Ashley Mason{Q-}{Q-}

The board ran out {A-}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and with that we have a new chip leader.

Kelly and Kelly

The news is not so good for the Kelly Family. We have just lost JP Kelly out of nowhere and Dan Kelly is also bleeding chips. The young American bracelet winner still has a healthy stack with 13,000 chips but he was up to 17,000 before.

In a pre flop all-in Kelly showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} against the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} of his opponent who had only 4,025 chips left behind. The board ran out {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} giving his opponent the double up.

Lewis vs. Collopy for a Monster Pot

We just stumbled upon a monster pot that resulted in the elimination of Toby Lewis. We imagine the money went in on the flop, but what we discovered was Lewis with {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} laid out in front of him while Collopy held {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The board read {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and it's no wonder the pot was so huge.

The dealer counted down the stacks and Collopy had the bigger stack. Lewis was eliminated on the hand while Collopy closed in on 50K.

Karr Flipping Good

McLean Karr started his Aussie Millions trip off with a final table in the Pot Limit Omaha tournament. Todays tournament is also looking to be a good one as he's up to 29,000 chips. Karr just told us what went down at his table.

The players to his left raised to 800 after which Karamalikis called. The action got folded to Karr who three-bet to 2,800 and the initial raiser decided to four-bet to 6,500. Karamalikis folded his has and Karr shoved his remaining chips for a total of 14,000 into the pot. His opponent called giving us the following showdown.

Behbehani Busted in Brutal Blind-vs-Blind, Ace-vs-Kings Hand

We didn't catch all the betting action, but we do know that Salman Behbehani was just eliminated after he picked up {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} in the small blind only to run into the Jarred Solomon. The board ran out with no help to Behbehani, and Solomon eliminated a tough opponent while chipping up to 37,000.
